PART NUMBER ANALYSIS

To properly select or replace this material

Material Construction and Behaviour

The smooth foil core is the defining engineering characteristic of this laminate and must be maintained across any replacement comparison.

Key Verification Points Prior to Substitution

In high-temperature graphite service, distinguish between operating temperatures in oxidizing versus inert atmospheres. Cross-reference operating pressures against available bolt loads.

To compare construction designs: Durlon FGL316 and Garlock GRAPH-LOCK 3125SS. Graphite grade and the foil bonding method can significantly affect gasket sealing performance.

KEY COMPARISON CRITERIA

SLS uses a smooth metal foil, whereas PSM relies on a tanged stainless steel core and PDM incorporates two inserts. Both bonding and compression characteristics differ.
